FAST food fans will now be able to take the scent of their favourite restaurant home - in the form of a scented candle.

Giftware company Kentucky for Kentucky has released a Double Down candle, which is said to smell just like the notorious KFC meal of the same name.

However, unlike its namesake - cheese and bacon between two chicken slices - it will be available in the UK.

It also features overtones of barbecue sauce, mayo and beef.

The candle is part of the 'Scents of the Commonwealth' range, which also features the Hot Brown sandwich, the Mint Julep and Plain Fried Chicken.

A spokesman for the firm said the candle was: "Layered with pure Kentucky goodness, this Double Down candle starts off with a layer of Kathy’s real fried chicken candle mixed with bacon pieces, easing into a bacon-scented centre, finishing off with another layer of bonafide fried chicken."

The collection will be on sale tomorrow from 10am onwards.

The Double Down came out in 2010, and was available in the USA, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and South Africa.

It attracted controversy after it was found to have an adult's daily recommended amount of sodium.
